Why does lung cancer cause pain in the joints of hands and feet

If the patient has brain metastasis, he or she may also experience dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, poor limb movement, slurred speech and other related symptoms. The characteristics of lung cancer bone and joint lesions are joint swelling, hypertrophy is mainly wide joint 70,000, and the distal periosteum of the limb bones proliferates, becoming thick and painful. Some lung cancer patients will experience symptoms of pain in the joints of the hands and feet.

What is the five-year survival rate for early-stage lung cancer?

It depends on which type of lung cancer it is. Lung cancer is commonly found in lung adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and small cell lung cancer. If it is small cell lung cancer, the estimated 5-year survival rate is 30% or 40%. In the case of adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma, the 5-year survival rate after early surgery is relatively high, and can exceed 80%. For patients with lung cancer, the treatment methods are mainly surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. Although anti-cancer drugs are constantly being updated, the prognosis of lung cancer is still not ideal. The 5-year survival rate of lung cancer patients is 10%, depending on the severity of the patient's condition. The incidence and mortality of lung cancer are still very high in China.

There are several types of lung cancer

Sometimes slow-growing lung cancer is called indolent lung cancer. This type of cancer is lazy and will not grow and metastasize for two years or even longer. However, there is a principle that once suspected lung cancer is clinically found, surgery should be performed as soon as possible, because the earlier the treatment is, the better the treatment effect and the more likely it is to be cured. Lung cancer can be divided into small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Small cell lung cancer develops rapidly and is prone to distant metastasis. There are many types of lung cancer, the most common types are small cell lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, and squamous cell adenocarcinoma.
